Yesterday, I watched Seven Pounds, starring Will Smith, for the first time. The movie is told through the eyes of Ben Thomas (Will Smith), a very troubled man with a big secret. To understand this movie you have to know that Ben Thomas lost his wife in a car accident, while killing six others. So that makes the death toll, seven, hence the title.
Ever since the accident, Thomas is on a journey to find seven strangers he feels deserves his help. Whether it be through organs or just a warm heart. Along the way, Thomas runs into Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson) who has heart failure. Thomas tries to stay on the path but can't help but fall in love with Emily. Then, she's told that she only has about a month to live. Thomas has a decision to make, be with the woman he loves, and hope she finds a heart. Or does Thomas give her his heart?
Seven Pounds is a confusing movie. It gives mixed signals. If you watch the movie till the end, you will understand why. I give it one and half stars. It has an interesting story, that just didn't get to me. I wouldn't necessarily recommend Seven Pounds, but instead give you the decision. But if I knew certain things about this movie, I probably wouldn't have watched it. Bottom line, Seven Pounds gets a, "I don't know." But then again, it can be a waste of time if your trying to watch a movie before you sleep. Caution, it may give you a headache!

Law Abiding Citizen is a must-not-see movie. It has two main holes. First, you have some sort of CIA Operative, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler). I'm not sure if Clyde is a geek, tinkerer, or a Special ops agent but he works from home and he's a family man.
This past Sunday I watched Carrie, the famous horror movie by Stephen King. What a great movie. Carrie has a scary storyline. Carrie (Sissy Spacek) is a story about a young, lonely, girl who's embarrassed miserably one night. But here's the catch, she's telekinetic and can do crazy things when she puts her mind to it. Carrie goes through high school alone and one incident only makes it worse, Carrie's first period. After this incident no one will befriend her and a group of girls make fun of her. When it comes time for prom, the movie goes into the final gear.
